75th B-day for a group of 20-25 near South Beach

Planning a surprise b-day for my father who is turning 75 in about 3 weeks. Looking for a fun, semi-hip place with good food and atmosphere. Group ranges in age from 30-80 but is definately on the young, hippish side. Don't want crazy expensive but not trying to go cheap either. Options can include anywhere from Adventura to the Gables. Please help!!

The holidays mean it's time for bubbly. Let Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) educator Vanessa Price teach you how to open a bottle properly and safely: without hurting somebody, or ruining that spark.

Summer is in full swing, which (hopefully) means trips to the park or the beach. If you’re taking a picnic along, you should know a few food safety rules so you can pack, transport, and eat your meal without the threat of food poisoning. Liz Weinandy
